You can do that before and after, but on the tourney you're there to fight, team-mate or not.

My friend who was down there said they were the only ones in their division and wanted to save themselves for the open weight class. This was their version of the rock, paper, scissors competition that apparently happens between a lot of team mates who end up in a match.

Funny but immature. If i did this in a kyokushin tournament or Muay Thai fight I'd need an escort out of the building.

This is the comment by one of them, the guy in MMA shorts, on Youtube:

THE GREATEST BRAZILIAN JIUJITSU MATCH EVER!

I would first like to apologise to the NSW BJJ Federation, Bruno Panno, Liam Resnekov and Gigante.

Background: There were only three guys in my division, Elan (USA trunks) had the first fight (i was straight into the final with a bye in the first round) and Elan won his fight decisively.

The final was between Elan and I (who are very good friends and training partners), we have faught each other everyday for the last 5.5 years in the gym, so instead of a boring fake BJJ match, we did a AWESOME Pro Wrestling match.

The crowd was very pleased with our performance, but the judges and officials were not.

We were disqualified from the match, and the whole comp (we also entered the open weight class and were automatically disqualified from that).

It was unfortunate, but it happened. We apologise.

Elan and I hope you enjoy this match as much as we enjoyed performing for you!

The YT comments seem to support them in a kind of misunderstood joke way, but going to a tourney always means you might end up facing team mates, especially if there's few people in a cathegory.

Doesn't mean you should play circus instead of fighting, IMO.
